I am still relatively new to engraving and have really been having a problem
tearing up the outside edge of my cuts in tight turns -- like the inside of a spiral.
I haven't had much success solving the problem until I recently tried the "Lindsay Point".
I sharpened a 120V point per Steve Lindsay's instructions on his web site, and was
really impressed with its performance. My torn up edge problem is almost completely
solved and the graver seemed to cut very smoothly.
I did notice that the tip may have a little more tendency to break although I
am not completely sure about this yet.
I was wondering what experiences other people might have had using this point, and,
since nothing is perfect, what some of the downsides of using it might be.
